Escape
Knitting and crafting is much more than a hobby to us. It's part of a lifestyle that provides great joy and fulfilment. And it can be even more memorable when combined with memories of place and people. Come and stay here and you'll see what we mean.
Have a weekend/week/few days away in Rylstone knitting, exploring and relaxing in a true rural atmosphere. You won't forget it in a hurry and will return rejuvenated.
Rylstone is the perfect place for a rural escape enjoying your knitting or any other craft. Our town has great eateries, some of the best wineries and lots of accommodation preferences. Organise a group of friends or come on your own and escape for a few days. Do lots or just sit and knit.
